SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, 15 JANUARY 1965 1 PAGE SIX THE MICHIGAN DAILY Sophs Lead 'M' Gymnasts in Sea son Opener Puckmen Challenge Minnesota By LLOYD GRAFF An anxious Michigan gymnas- tics team unveils eight sophomores tonight at 7:30 in the opening meet of a season which Coach Newt Loken hopes will end in a national championship'. The fledgling team from Eastern Michigan, coached by 1954 Mich- ilan captain MarvyJohnson, is only in its second year of com- petition so it is expected that it will provide only token opposition for the Michigan powerhouse. For the Wolverines it will be the first taste of official intercol- legiate competition. The gymnasts have been practicing since August to defend their Big Ten title and they are more than a little anxious to get the real thing under way. Eight Sophs Loken's eyes take a glint when he starts talking about hips sopho- mores, who comprise half of his 16 man squad. He relishes discus- sing the moves of Gary Vander Voort, Illinois all-around state champion two years ago, can make on the parallel bars. His scores are well into the 90's as are those of soph twins Phil and Chip Full- er in floor exercise.I Art Baessler "is looking very fine on the sidehorse" according to Loken and Kenny Williams has come from nowhere to become a This Weekend in Sports FRIDAY HOCKEY-Minnesota (Duluth) at the Coliseum, 8 p.m. WRESTLING-Michigan at Illinois GYMNASTICS-Eastern Michigan at the Sports Building, 7:30 p.m. SATURDAY BASKETBALL-Michigan at Northwestern HOCKEY-Minnesota (Duluth) at the Coliseum, 8 p.m. WRESTLING--Michigan at Purdue SWIMMING-Michigan at Purdue PURDUE ON SATURDAY: HeathyGrap piersM Face Injured Illini IC RRe 1 topnotch man on the parallel bars.] Chris Vanden Broek, a rookie from Ann Arbor, is solid on the rings and high bar. Chris Chil- vers and Dick Stone have improv- ed dramatically on the still rings. Balanced Team "I can count on at least one man in the 90's in every event," says Loken like a man showing off his muscle. And he has the muscle to show off with a strong veteran team to compliment his splendid cadre of sophomores. M i k e Henderson,, NCAA champ in floor ex two years' ago, is gunning to get his title back. Captain Gary Erwin is rated as the best trampolinist in the Big Ten, asohe defends his NCAA and Big Ten trampoline title. Teammate Fred Sanders is re- garded as the second best tramp man in the conference on the basis of last year's Big Ten per- formances. The third member of the bouncing trio, John Hamilton, recently had a cartilage operation on his knee. "He's a definite ques- tion mark for the season," says Ioken. n.High Bar Veterans Two veterans anchor the high bar, senior Alex Frecska who is getting. back in shape after an appendectomy, and junior John Cashman who was hitting in the low 90's by the end of last season. Rich Blanton will be on the still rings after recovering from a shoulder injury which kept him off the apparatus all last season. Most observers of the college gymnastics scene, including Loken and the coaches of Iowa and Michigan State see the Big Ten as strictly a three team race be- tween the Wolverines, Hawkeyes and Spartans. Michigan could rate a slight favorite because it has dual meets with Iowa and MSU at home. MSU is at Iowa for a vital By P. C. DEAN Michigan's hockey team, win- less in its last three conference games, will try to regain its win- ning touch tonight and tomorrow night against a non-conference opponent, the University of Min- nesota-Duluth branch. Both games will start at 8 p.m. at the Coliseum. UMD lost only one regular by graduation from last year's team that finished with a 14-11 record. Last year's top scorer sopho- more Keith Christiansen, is back and is leading the Bulldogs in; scoring with 11 goals and 14 as- sists. Christiansen centers the first line for UMD with sophomore Pat Francisco and junior MikeTok at the wings. This line scored 41 of UMD's 95 goals last season. petition in 1962. Since that timet their record has been continuous- ly improving. So far against WC- HA teams they have lost twice to4 North Dakota, beaten Minnesota, lost four times to Michigan Tech and won two from Colorado Col-t lege. However, as Michigan Coach Al Renfrew pointed out, "They are a good team.aThey lost six games by seven goals to North Dakota and Michigan Tech which are the best in the league." UMD's overall record is 6-6-1. Two Defeats Michigan's season standard hasl slipped to 6-5-1 overall and 2-4-0 in conference play as a result oft a pair of losses to North Dakota last weekend. Michigan "played well enough to win both games against North Dakota," said Ren- frew yesterday, but dropped both, by scores of 7-3 and 4-2.k twice and won both games by scores of 7-2 and 8-4. The Wolverines will continue their conference season schedule next weekend when they journey to Colorado Springs to take on the Colorado College Tigers.

Russell 1 e a d s all Michigan scorers, having compiled 288 points for a 26.2 average. Buntin, second in scoring, has accounted for 208 points at a clip of 18.9 points per game. At this same time last year, the then third-ranked Wolverines were being paced by Russell's 22.7 points per game and by Buntin's 19.3. When Michigan's wrestling team faces Illinois today they will be in a paradoxical situation, for with all but one of their mem- bers healthy the Wolverines will meet an injured Illini team. Since December Michigan's team has been riddled with injuries, but Coach Cliff Keen reports that, except for Captain Rick Bay, all the men are healthy. This means that Bill Johannesen, Lee Dei- trick, and Chris Stowell will be competing this weekend when the team travels to Illinois on Friday and to Purdue on Saturday. The situation of Illinois' wres- tling squad is similar to Michi- gan's before the return of Jo- hannesen, Deitrick, and Stowell. Illinois has lost three of its reg- ulars due to various reasons. But the Illini have definite contenders in Clay Beattie, at 157, and Bob Shiveley who is at heavyweight. 'risco Trades Chamberlain ST. LOUIS (P)-The San Fran- cisco Warriors traded Wilt Cham- berlain to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul Neumann, Connie Dierk- ing and Lee Shaffer and an un- disclosedamount of cash Wednes- day night. The trade was announced im- mediately after the National Basketball Association All - Star game. Chamberlain apparently played for the West without know- ing he had been traded. The trade was effective immed- lately and all players will report to their new clubs at once. Shaffer was a holdout and had been suspended by the 76ers for not signing his contract this sea- son. He has been working out in Ilurham, N.C., and reportedly is in shape to play with San Francisco. U Ai After the Illinois meet the Wol- verines will travel to Purdue on Saturday. Coach Keen says that Purdue, like Illinois, is not a top Big Ten contender, but it has some good wrestlers. Michigan's Dave Dozeman will face Purdue's leading wrestler, Ralph Trail in the 130 pound weight class. This will be Dozeman's first meet since his automobile accident after the 1963 season. Dozeman had finished third in both the Big Ten and NCAA tournaments before the accident. Undefeated Bob Spaly will be at heavyweight for the Wolver- ines, and sophomore Bob Fehrs will wrestle at 123. The Wolverine traveling squad rounds out with sophomore Jim Kamman and Cal Jenkins, both at the 147 pound class and Tony Feiock at 167. The meet condi- tion of Captain Bay is still un- certain, but he will begin work- ing out on Monday. meet tomorrow.

OliverDarden year." is a close third with 89 rebounds followed by Larry - Tregoning with 73. Darden and Tregoning have l scored 106 and 99 points for ak 9.6 and a 9.0 average, respectively. John Thompson has added 78 points. Michigan's revamped starting line-up, which averages 6'6" per man, is probably the reason that the Wolverines have grabbed 50 more rebounds than they had at this time last year. Despite the fact that Nebraska outrebounded Michigan 43-37, the Wolverines hold a sizeable 590-410 edge over their opponents. zAny Size! In One Price! Brand New Firsts!
